SDJR fruit & milk van model drawing & BR photo 4mm/1ft scale
This is a forty-year-old handbuilt, hand-painted, lettered & lined model, based on the drawing which was made from the official photo! The lining on this model was a lot easier with its straight lines. I used a nice old bow-pen with very fine steel 'blades' and standard Humbrol enamels, thinned very slightly. The gold was always clogging up the pen and wouldn't make a very fine line, so I would put down the finest I could and cut it back with the black.
This rectilinear type of panelling, a departure from the rounded cornered pattern of most SDJR passenger stock, followed the Midland Railway's design of the period. Indeed the Midland had many more of the same van, albeit with minor details. There are drawings of both companies' versions in Peter Tatlow's 'Historic Carriage Drawings' volume three. When I compared my drawing with Peter's I found that my length was out by 4mm or 1foot! The rest of the dimensions were fairly accurate.
